We All Have The Opportunity To Master This - With Practice

A video from our Performance Breathing Course

The connection between your breathing and your nervous system — especially the link between your exhale and the parasympathetic branch — is staggering. Each slow, controlled exhale signals safety to your body and shifts you out of stress and into calm.

But here’s the key: in order to use your breathing as a practice to elicit calm, balance your nervous system, and sharpen focus, there’s a lot of nuance in how you breathe. The absolute cornerstone is the way you use your exhale. Longer, softer exhales stimulate the vagus nerve, activating the parasympathetic “recovery” division of the nervous system.

By training your exhales with intention, you can directly influence your heart rate, reduce stress arousal, and restore balance in real time. The more consistently you practice, the more skilled you become at flipping the switch from stress to calm — giving you more energy, focus, and composure under pressure.
